She started painting oil on canvas in 1971 and has matured over time. A self taught artist who loves nature from where she draws inspiration. Principally she paints to commission. An artist of a sensitive nature who brings out in her canvases the manifest beauty found amongst everyday life which she brings to us with her uniquely vivid colour spectrum. Her love for her country ensures that she represents her land in many of her canvases which with her intense colours ignite authentic emotions from within.
